Marriage is not religious. Getting married in a church, with a priest and before God is the religious part.

In a lot of countries you can get married without any religion being involved. Some government officials will then officiate the wedding.

Even true in the religious U.S., even in ultra-religious Indiana. My wife and I got married by a lawyer (a very old family friend) in a ballroom. We said we didn’t want any mention of god or religion and he complied. This was 23 years ago, but it hasn’t changed.
